Endometrial factors in the implantation failure spectrum: protocol of a MUltidisciplinary observational cohort study in women with Repeated Implantation failure and recurrent Misca... by Servaas Morré, Ron van Golde, Andrea Romano, Linda Stevens Brentjens, Denise Habets, Janneke Den Hartog, Salwan Al-Nasiry, Lotte Wieten, Aafke Van Montfoort

“…Both RM and RIF are multifactorial and research indicates that the interplay between steroidogenesis, uterine natural killer (uNK) cells and the microbiome determine the capacity of the endometrium to be a biosensor for invading embryos. Our objective is to elucidate whether there is a difference in endometrial receptivity parameters (ie, steroid metabolism, uNK cells and the microbiome) between women aged 18–38 years with reproductive failure (RIF and RM), and fertile controls.Methods and analysis Single-centre, observational cohort study. …”
